So this issue came to light for me on August 11, I have noticed a very annoying blue tint in the center of the screen.

The issue only seems to effect users taking photos with florescent lighting (your typical Eco Bulb or Tube Lighting). Some say that this maybe a white balancing issue. Lets just hope there is a software update in the making

This doesn’t seem to be effecting only a few users. The issue is around 25 pages long on Apple Support Communities.

This seems to effect display models on display at Vodafone stores in New Zealand.

If you haven’t already heard about MobileMe, it’s a set of online tools for managing and synchronizing all of your Apple devices such as your Mac, iPhone or iPad. It has some very nice features, one of my favorite being Find My iPhone. But is all this really worth the US$ 99/year that Apple charges for it? I think not, and I’m sure many others will agree with me.

But, Apple’s pricing strategy might be about to change. Apple’s next event is basically confirmed for September 9, where they are said to announce new iPods. But there is also a big possibility that Apple may announce more than just iPods, that being MobileMe becoming free.

The ease (and fun) of paying with our iPhones may finally be here.  Benjamin Vigier, who has worked on PayPal Mobile, Sprint MyMoneyManager and SanDisks on near-field communication projects, has been hired by apple to be project manager of Mobile Commerce.

The patent images depicting concert tickets on the iPhone don’t seem too far away now.  Will we be seeing this with next years iPhone?  If you look up the top left of the iPhone pictured you will see what looks to be the sensor.

Jailbreaking to keep you safe?  For the users of the original iPhone and iPod Touch, yes!  Since these older devices are not compatible with iOS 4 they have not received the PDF security update from Apple.

A PDF Patch has been released by Saurik (Jay Freeman) which fixes the issue. This prevents malicious websites from hacking your 1st gen iPhone and iPod Touch and is available from Cydia. This security issue was first exposed by jailbreakme.com, a website which could jailbreak your iOS device over the internet.

The dating site OkCupid have released information from a study of it’s users and have concluded that among the users of smartphones iPhone users are likely to have more sexual encounters than other smartphone users, with blackberry coming in a close second and android users last.

Results of the study are shown below…

Apple, as promised, have just released iOS 4.0.1 for iPhones and iPod Touches and 3.2.2 for iPads.  This fixes the PDF vulnerability which JailBreakMe highlighted.  Although this unfortunately stops the online jailbreak it also makes your iOS device more secure.
